This movie is being played here in the United States in heavy rotation. I thought that Jarrid Geduld really made the movie what it was. I don't think I would have paid much attention to it had he not been in the title role. I would like to commend the other actors for displaying a more realistic portrayal of life in South Africa. I would like to also say that Jarrid will someday become a very major star in showbiz. I truly hope to see him in more movies being played in the US. Although this movie was done in 2004 it should be released again to a much broader audience. I am sure that it will reach a lot more people and make more of an impact for those of us who do not know what life is like in Capetown.
